#17 – Celtic tour

Hello everyone,

As said before I’ll tell you a little bit about the Celtic tour we did on Sunday. This tour was very nice even though the weather was not as well. We actually got soaked at one point but later more of that.

So our tour guide was very nice and funny and incredibly well prepared. He started to talk about the sights we were going to see 10 minutes before we arrived there, so we could then have just a look around without having to stand there in a circle and listen to him. Also he was very considerate about the rain and he was very impressed as the complete group did not seem to care about getting wet. He told a few jokes and a bit about the Irish history itself, what was very interesting.

For the sights I actually forgot most of the names but I remember a very impressive tomb where we had to climb up a hill to reach it. It started to rain while we were up there and it got very windy on our way down, which got us very wet at this place. The tomb itself was quite interesting but smaller than I first imagined. But he told us that there have been many of these in ancient times, which would have been a very incredible view.

Also very interesting was the big Castle we visited. A few parts of the walls were missing and we couldn’t have a look in the castle itself (there are tours for that also) but it was nice enough.

Other than that we visited abbeys and graveyards with gigantic Celtic crosses.

All in all it was a tour very much worth it and I recommend everyone to do both tours i now brought to you!

So, da bin ich nun im Seminar zum Theman Bloggen und darf ein paar erste Worte zu mir schreiben. Irland wird definitiv spannend, ich hoffe ich komme zu den DCNetworks in Dublin ;). Der Auslandsaufenthalt ist, wie bei allen anderen auch, Teil der Ausbildung - sozusagen ein Bonus. Alles weitere schreib ich später in ruhe. Bis dann!
